Word for word, you're correct, but that's not something you'd hear an English speaker say normally. Ideally you want to find a way of expressing the idea in a natural way in both languages, for German that means saying 'Sie hat großen Hunger' and in English you'd say 'She is very hungry'

I hate playing the "which translation will Duolingo accept" game. Will it accept "she is hungry?" How about "she is very hungry"? Or maybe "she is really hungry". Better to translate directly... except no, they don't accept that.

“She is very hungry.” and “She is really hungry.” are both good translations. If they're not accepted, please submit them through the ‘Report a Problem’ button to reduce the frustration for future users. The German+English Duolingo team is very responsive.

It's not. :(
I've reported it but it doesn't help me now that I lost a Lingot not knowing whether it wanted me to say "She has great hunger" or "She is very hungry"
(For the record, for the latter I would write "Sie hat sehr hungrig" or something to better convey the meaning, though I know Hunger haben or hungrig are correct.)

This is verbatim translation.In ordinary parlance this seems to be position in German."hat großen Hunger". Such phrases occur frequently in German.Even in sentence formation,I observed Shakespeare's poetic rythem.

Am I the only one who finds it difficult to work out the word hunger from how it is normally pronounced.

Most of the other words that end in er have some connection to the er in how they are pronounced but I find it very hard to get hunger from what I hear. I don't mean Duo's pronunciation. Duo is pretty close on this one.

i cant use microphone and theres no "i cant use my microphone now" button like tablet version so basically i lose my streek and dont get the extra 5xp its very annoying especially because my school is a german school
